INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts spent all week poring through New England's game tapes looking for answers.

They know they haven't really seen anything yet.

If Indianapolis has learned anything from four straight blowout losses to the rival Patriots, it's this: The Patriots will change things up Sunday night.

"Right when you think you know exactly what [Bill Belichick] is going to do, he defends you a different way," coach Chuck Pagano said. "Not only him, but Matt Patricia, the defensive coordinator, they do a great job. They do a great job of making you beat them left-handed."
